South Africans will see three less hours per day of live business news from Europe on Bloomberg Television (DStv 411) in 2013 as the 24-hour business news channel is downscaling its Europe and London operations.
Bloomberg Television which currently has 8 hours of live programming a day from Europe for European and South African viewers with more relevant business news from the global time zone, will cut that back to 5 hours per day in 2013.
Three hours of the channel feed seen in Europe and South Africa will be reverting to Bloomberg Television's American channel feed, similar to what is already happening during the evening and late night scheduling on the channel, with for instance Charlie Rose's interview talk show.
The scaling back of live European broadcasts by Bloomberg Television is due to the just under a 100 people getting fired by Bloomberg Television in London as part of it's "operational efficiency review" which I reported on last month and which is currently taking place at Bloomberg Television in the United Kingdom.
